Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 19.11.7

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 02/06/21. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/cpaelzer/dpdk-stable-queue

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/cpaelzer/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/f474bb5284782e3e62f23413884b693040a8b774

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] net/octeontx: fix build with SVE

[ upstream commit e88bd4746737a1ca464b866d29f20ff5a739cd3f ]

Building with gcc 10.2 with SVE extension enabled got error:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:91: Error: selected processor does not support `addvl x4,x8,#-1'
{standard input}:95: Error: selected processor does not support `ptrue p1.d,all'
{standard input}:135: Error: selected processor does not support `whilelo p2.d,xzr,x5'
{standard input}:137: Error: selected processor does not support `decb x1'

This is because inline assembly code explicitly resets cpu model to
not have SVE support. Thus SVE instructions generated by compiler
auto vectorization got rejected by assembler.

Added SVE to the cpu model specified by inline assembly for SVE support.
Not replacing the inline assembly with C atomics because the driver relies
on specific LSE instruction to interface to co-processor [1].

Fixes: f0c7bb1bf778 ("net/octeontx/base: add octeontx IO operations")
